In 2013, J.T. Merryweather and Chris Browhan opened Real Ale Revival, or RaR Brewing, on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge, Maryland. The two graduates of Cambridge-South Dorchester High School had left the Eastern Shore for college and followed careers elsewhere before taking their homebrewing hobby to the next level, and by next level we mean a professional brewery in an 80-year-old former pool hall and bowling alley with a goal of producing well-balanced American pale ales and Belgian inspired brews 10 barrels at a time. Another round of RaR beer has landed in Tacoma — this time with a Batman theme. Stop by our craft beer and cider bar, bottle shop and restaurant in Tacoma’s Proctor District and grab Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: RaR Batman!
Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: RaR Batman!
RaR Out of Order: I Am The Night
6% ABV
One of the most iconic fictional characters in the world, Batman has dedicated his life to an endless crusade, a war on all criminals in the name of his murdered parents, who were taken from him when he was just a child. Since that tragic night, he has trained his body and mind to near physical perfection to be a self-made superhero. He’s developed an arsenal of technology that would put most armies to shame. RaR’s I Am The Night is their lactose sour base conditioned over bananas, pound cake, and vanilla icing.
RaR Out of Order: Coin Flip Concoction
6% ABV
District Attorney Harvey Dent’s spiral into Gotham’s madness came swiftly after a criminal threw acid into his face, leaving half of it horribly scarred. Seeking refuge in the underbelly of Gotham, the name Harvey Dent and all the good it stood for was lost … and Two-Face rose from the darkness. Armed with a set of .22 calibers, superior intellect and deep knowledge of criminal law, Two-Face is entranced by the idea of chance — making most of his decisions based on the outcome of a coin toss. RaR Brewing’s Coin-Flip Concoction is their lactose sour base conditioned over watermelon, guava, and pastry cream.
RaR Out of Order: Riddle Me This
6% ABV
One of the Dark Knight’s most infamous villains, Edward Nygma enjoys flaunting his intellectual superiority by conducting crimes and leaving clues for Batman to piece together. While this habit constantly leads to the aptly named Riddler failing in his criminal endeavors, his puzzle-problem stems not only from his own narcissism and ego, but also from a deep-seeded psychological compulsion. RaR’s Riddle Me This is their lactose sour base conditioned over Granny Smith apples, caramel, and a dash of vanilla.
RaR Out of Order: You Are Berry Funny
6% ABV
No name strikes terror into the hearts of Gotham’s citizens quite like the Joker. In a city overrun with larger-than-life criminals, the always-laughing villain stands alone. A complete psychopath with no moral compass whatsoever, the Joker, whose real name and identity remain completely unknown, is characterized by his chalk-white skin, green hair and a permanent rictus grin stretched across his face. But there isn’t a single thing funny about this clown, who only finds humor in the suffering of others. RaR’s You Are Berry Funny is their lactose sour base conditioned over blueberries, raspberries, and pastry cream.
RaR Out of Order: Freeze’s Blueberry Birthday Surprise
6% ABV
The corporation funding cryogenics expert Victor Fries’ work shut down his experiments and, in the process, caused a horrible accident, errantly releasing coolants in his lab that did irreparable harm to Victor’s body’s chemistry. Transforming the former Dr. Fries into an ice-colored monstrosity, the coolants made it impossible for him to survive above freezing temperatures. To counteract this, Victor constructed a special, ultra-durable suit to keep his body alive and at the right temperature. He embraced his new persona and became Mr. Freeze. RaR’s Freeze’s Blueberry Birthday Surprise is their lactose sour base conditioned over blueberries, birthday cake batter, and vanilla ice cream.
